Durbar Square, Kathmandu

Kathmandu (Nepali: काठमांडौ) is the capital and the largest metropolitan city of Nepal. Kathmandu is situated in the heart of the Himalaya mountains and has a rich history. Considered by many to be among the most beautiful cities in the world, the earliest known inscription in the Kathmandu Valley is dated 185 AD. The oldest firmly dated building in the earthquake-prone valley is almost 1,992 years old.

Nepal managed to remain somewhat independent from the Empire unlike many other kingdoms, so the capital and major cities were preserved .

Wish there were more places like this in the world where it still looks like it did in the old days...
